Have you contacted upstream about it ? > The advantage is the OpenGL 1.4 support while lablgtk supports 1.1 > only. But, Mesa 5.0 is not yet in Debian. And will not (really) have it for a long time, since mesa 5 will not go into XFree86 4.3.0 to be released in spring. We will have to wait a year for XFree86 4.4.0, and then it will probably be too late for sarge. That said, you can alsways use Michel Daenzer's DRI CVS-trunk snapshot packages, and get MESA 5.0 immediately. > So, I'm not in favour of packaging it right. It is not > ready for packaging, really. Ok, but i guess telling upstream about this would maybe urge him to improve the quality of it. He is using the official sounding camlGL name, so he should live up to it. > > That said, you did notice my question about this on the caml list, did > > you ?

I'd prefer that the code be added to lablgl. > LablGL has a higher quality. :))) And anyway, lablgl works with ocamlsdl. Let's see if there is some response from the question i aked on the caml list.
